AAP leader and Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia on Wednesday attacked Lieutenant Governor V K Saxena asking him to stop interfering in the Arvind Kejriwal-led government's works. Sisodia also wrote a letter to Delhi LG demanding a CBI probe into the alleged Rs 6,000 crore scam in the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD).

Sisodia also hit out at the LG for "interfering in the government's works" and conducting "fake probes" against the Arvind Kejriwal-led dispensation. The deputy chief minister alleged that he had apprised the LG about corruption in the MCD two months ago, but he did not initiate any measure.

"I want to draw your attention towards my earlier letter in connection with the Rs 6,000 crore corruption in the MCD. You did not order a CBI probe into the matter which I raised two months ago. But you are setting a new record in ordering probes into fake cases in order to stop the government's works but you are unable to see corruption in the MCD."
